Splashback Tiles Sunshine Coast

Kitchen, bathroom and laundry splashback tiles from $19.95/m², most of them in stock at our Maroochydore warehouse and ready to take home today.

Tile Factory Outlet is a locally owned and operated tile warehouse on the corner of Kayleigh Drive and Wises Road, Maroochydore. We have sold tiles on the Sunshine Coast since 2005 and traded from this corner since 2007, with Italian, Spanish and Australian ranges across two display areas and a warehouse floor holding thousands of tiles. Splashback tiles are one of the smallest jobs in a house and one of the most visible, and this page is the starting point for choosing them: what we stock, how buying from a warehouse works, and the suburb pages for the areas we supply most.

Sunshine Coast Region, QLD

A splashback is the wall behind a sink, cooktop or trough that gets splashed, and its job is to give that wall a smooth surface that wipes clean. Because nobody walks on it, almost any wall-suitable tile can be used: gloss, polished, mosaic, subway, handmade-look and large-format porcelain all work, which is why the splashback is usually where a kitchen or bathroom gets its one decorative moment.

People come to Tile Factory Outlet for splashback tiles for two reasons that show up on every one of our suburb pages: price, with tiles starting from $19.95 per square metre and most of our stock tiles at $30 per square metre or less, and stock, because most of our range is held on site rather than ordered in, so what you choose in the showroom can usually go home with you the same day.

Why buy splashback tiles from a warehouse rather than a catalogue

The warehouse behind our showroom is the range. You can see full boxes and pallets rather than a single sample, check the shade across a batch, and take the tiles with you instead of waiting on a container. Everything that goes behind and around the tile is sold in the same building.

  • Best price guarantee. If you see the same tile advertised at one of our local competitors, let us know and we will offer you a better deal.
  • Most stock held on site. If the tile is on the floor, we load it up the same day. Most of what we do not hold can be brought up from our Brisbane suppliers by the end of the week; some feature tiles are made to order and take two to three weeks.
  • Italian, Spanish and Australian ranges from $19.95/m². We buy in volume and often take the last batches from a wholesaler, which is how the same tile is cheaper here.
  • Try Before You Buy. Request samples in store and check the colour against your benchtop and cabinetry before you commit.
  • Everything for the install under one roof. Waterproofing, grout, glue, screed, silicone, levellers, clips and wedges, trims and the accessories a first-time tiler forgets.
  • Help choosing, and a tiler if you need one. Our showroom team, including a resident tiling expert, will help you pick type, colour and size. We do not install, but we can recommend a tiler when you come in.

Good to know

How long does it take to get the tiles?

If we have the tiles in stock at the outlet, we can load them for you on the same day. Most of our suppliers are in Brisbane, so an order for a tile we do not hold can usually be completed by the end of the week, or sooner if you are happy to pay for individual freight. Some feature tiles are made to order and can take two to three weeks, so ask before you plan an install date around one.

Ordering, paying and checking your tiles

If you are ordering tiles rather than loading them on the day, a 50% deposit is enough, with the balance due on collection or before delivery. We take EFTPOS, cash and direct transfer; cheques and American Express are not accepted. Check your tiles within seven days of receiving them, and if any are cracked, get in touch and we will sort out the replacement. Allow about 10% on top of the measured area for cuts and wastage.

Delivery and installation

We deliver across the Sunshine Coast. Pricing varies with the location and the size of the pallet, but typically a local delivery is $130 per pallet, and it includes an all-terrain forklift driver who can set the pallet down in your yard if you prefer. We do not offer installation, but we can recommend a tiler when you come in, and our website carries how-to resources for anyone laying their own splashback.

Frequently asked questions

Do you offer installation?

We do not install tiles. We do offer online how-to resources for the first-time tiler, and we can recommend a tiler for you when you come in store.

Can I take splashback tiles home the same day?

If we have the tiles in stock at our outlet, we can load them up for you the same day. Most of our suppliers are in Brisbane, so most orders for a tile we do not hold can be completed by the end of the week, or sooner if you are happy to pay for individual freight. Some feature tiles are made to order and may take two to three weeks.

Do you deliver?

Yes. Pricing varies with your location and the pallet size, but typically a local delivery is $130 per pallet, and that includes an all-terrain forklift driver who can drop the pallet in your yard if you choose.

What should I bring to the showroom?

You do not need to bring anything, although a sample or a photo of a specific tile you are after helps. Factor in about 10% wastage on top of the amount you measure, and let us help you choose: our team can advise on type, colour and sizing to suit your decor.

Do I need to pay the full amount when I order?

No. If you are ordering tiles rather than buying and loading them on the same day, a 50% deposit is enough, with the remainder due when you collect or before delivery. We accept EFTPOS, cash and direct transfer; cheques and American Express are not available.

Does any tile work as a splashback?

Any wall-suitable tile does. Because a splashback is never walked on, slip ratings do not apply, which frees you to use gloss, polished and decorative tiles that would be unsafe on a floor. What matters is how easily the face wipes clean, whether the edge is rectified for tight grout lines, and whether the batch is large enough to finish the wall.

Alongside the stock room there is a showroom with displays that show how a tile reads in different rooms, and two display areas with thousands of choices in stock. If you want something we do not stock, we are happy to order it in.
